A Lady's Story of an Officer's Brutaliti
Alleging misconduct and bru.
tality on the part of a -group o1
officers from Greenville, whil
in Pickens county in search o
the slayer of officer Gunnels, z
lady of that section . writes th<
followinv letter to the Green.
ville News:
"Now that the excitemen
caused by the killing of Officei
Gunnels has abated and . quie
and order reign again, we feel
we should report a very aggra
vating case of trespass on a
family of quiet farm ueople of
Pickens county by a bunch of
officers of the city of. Green.
ville. One evening after the
killing of the officer two power.
ful autos filled with officers and
their deputies with lightning
rapidity flashed up to the very
door of the farmer's home, and
just as the family rushed out
to see what the noise and con
fusion meant, the officere
mounted the steps with drawi
pistols and vile oaths, threaton
ing to kill the first one who
made- a break or acted suspi
cious. Imagine if you can the
consternation and excitement it
would eause a weak and nor
vous woman and a family of
children raised in a home of cul
ture and refinement to be or
dered to stand with hands up at
the point of pistols in the hands
of drunken men shouting thei1
oaths in a tone that was dis
tinctly heard by neighborE
living one half mile away. Tlh
family hadn't heard of the kill
ing at the time and could not-at
once undlerstand what the otli
cers meant. from their drunken
babble.
"Finally they nde themselves
known as wanting two men foi
killing an officer of Greenvillo.
There had come out that <iy
two men from one of the cotton
mill villages on business of per
sonal interest. The officers had
traced them to this farm home,
and when told these two men
were in the house they rushed
in and with abusive oathE
ordered them to strip themselvek
of their clothing. One, a lad of
16 years, had the exciting expe
rience of having the mouth of a
pistol in the hands of a reeline
officer pressed against the b~ar(
flesh over his heart while he wvas
brutally or'dered to remove his
lower garments, and all this ir
the family's private sitting
room.
"Next the officers hanidcuffec
the two men and led them t<
their automobiles and passei
around their hottles of yellov
rye and dranik in the presence o1
the wife and children and drov<
off without a word of apology
for the annoyance they ha<
caused. They seemed utterl:
lacking in that Southern gal
lantry for which our men havy
always been so noted.
"Now, .man is born to dlomin
ion, but self-control is the high
est form of dominion, and h

physical powvers 'to subjection:

over his fellow men. 'Hie tha
